Haitam Abaida El Achhab (born 1 June 2002) is a footballer who plays for Spanish club Málaga CF. Mainly a left winger, he can also play as a right back. Born in Spain, he represented Morocco at youth international level.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Polinyà, Barcelona, Catalonia to Moroccan parents, Abaida joined FC Barcelona's La Masia in 2012, from Fundació Calella.[2] In August 2017, after being out of action due to a FIFA ban on Barça, he joined Málaga CF.[3]

On 6 January 2021, before even having appeared for the reserves, Abaida made his first team debut by coming on as a late substitute for fellow youth graduate David Larrubia in a 1–0 home win against Real Oviedo, for the season's Copa del Rey.[4] His Segunda División debut occurred on 2 May, as he replaced Ismael Casas late into a 3–0 away loss against RCD Espanyol.

Abaida scored his first professional goal on 19 November 2022, netting the opener in a 1–1 draw at Real Zaragoza.
